West ham boss Julen has in a brutal manner tell Emerson his career in west ham is over for his for posting mimic footage on social media after Chelsea 3:0 defeats

Tosin Adarabioyo brutally mocks West Ham United with social media post after Chelsea win

Tosin Adarabioyo has mocked West Ham United after Chelsea beat Julen Lopetegui’s side at the London Stadium.

The Hammers’ winless start to the league campaign in East London continued on Saturday (21 September) as a brace from Nicolas Jackson and a goal from Cole Palmer ensured the Blues claimed all three points with a 3-0 win.

Having taken to social media in the lead-up to the game to suggest Enzo Maresca’s side had “bubbles to burst” [X, 19 September] Chelsea defender Adarabioyo was quick to send the Irons a new message after the full-time whistle.

Writing on X on Saturday (21 September) he said: “Pop, pop” followed by a bubble emoji, mocking the Hammers’ anthem, I’m forever blowing bubbles.

Pressure on Julen Lopetegui after West Ham lose to Chelsea

While Adarabioyo’s tweet is nothing more than a player having a laugh, it sums up what was genuinely an embarrassing and dreadful afternoon for everyone associated with West Ham.

Lopetegui’s side were second best in every aspect of the game and while a lot of the blame lies with the manager for getting his setup wrong, the players didn’t look as though they were interested in turning up.

That sort of display is unacceptable. The former Real Madrid manager was not brought in to make the London Stadium a ground that other teams are looking forward to playing at.

If that message from an opponent so soon after the full-time whistle isn’t enough to get the players up for a game, the Irons have more problems than they’ve shown.

No player should be comfortable being mocked in that manner by an opposition player.

Hopefully, West Ham will waste no time bouncing back from this defeat and find a way to get back to winning ways at Anfield.

It won’t be easy, but progression in the cup is a must after a miserable start to the league season.

Guillem Balgue blocks replies to bizarre Julen Lopetegui post – ‘Can’t see further than their nose’

Guillem Balague has just launched a shameless and quite frankly childish defence of West Ham Unitd head coach Julen Lopetegui.

Julen Lopetegui looked incredibly frustrated on the sidelines today, as Chelsea ran rampant against West Ham at the London Stadium.

Things are looking pretty bleak for the Spaniard right now. There are plenty of Hammers fans who are being proven right about Lopetegui’s credentials at the moment.

However, Guillem Balgaue is someone who has staunchly supported Lopetegui right from the very start.

Back in the summer, the Spaniard didn’t stop telling us how brilliant his countryman is.
It got to a point where Balague was so bullish with his praise of Lopetegui that everyone started to believe that the Hammers were on to something special.

However, as things stand, his continued support of the West Ham boss seems to lack any kind of substance.

Guillem Balgue blocks replies to bizarre Julen Lopetegui post

The 58-year-old Hammers boss will surely be feeling the heat now after that shambolic performance from his players against Chelsea.

It was a disaster from start to finish today, and it’s fair for fans and pundits to be asking questions of Lopetegui already.

However, one man clearly doesn’t agree with that sentiment!

Well-renowned Spanish football pundit Guillem Balague took to his official X account this afternoon to launch a shameless defence of Lopetegui.

Balague tweeted:

“It is the perfect time to say this, now that the wind (and the pusillanimous that can’t see further than their nose) is going against him Julen Lopetegui is a top top top manager and will show it at West Ham. Message to those that understand football: look beyond the bench to understand the poor start to the season You don’t get chosen as a Spain national coach AND Real Madrid manager, and win the Europa League unless you are absolutely top. He did an absolutely superb job at Wolves (and then the ownership lied to him three times so couldn’t stay as trust was gone) Bookmark this message for me please.“

 

No replies allowed because I don’t really care what those that cannot see it think.“

Now, we all know that Balague is a big fan of Lopetegui, but that post above reeks of someone who has lost their argument already.

Balague wildly misses the point with Lopetegui defence

Firstly, I have to say that Lopetegui deserves time before he is judged properly by the Hammers fans, and the owners of course.

However, he’s certainly not immune from criticism, and I believe he’d be the first to admit that he’s already made mistakes at the London Stadium.

Balague just seems so set in his views though, and tunnel visioned, that he can’t even accept any form of criticism of his countryman.

The Spanish football pundit keeps going on about the 58-year-old having managed Real Madrid and Spain before.

However, let’s provide some context. He was in charge of Madrid for just 14 games before being sacked and Spain for only 20 games before he was moved on.

He clearly wasn’t good enough to hold down those two jobs.

That said, I’m prepared to be patient with the Spaniard. Let’s see how things look after 15 games. He has a lot of work to do for sure, and Balague should be more accepting of the criticism that his countryman is getting.

Let’s put things into perspective though. There was a huge overhaul of players at the London Stadium in the summer, and it will take time for everything to click.

If we’re anywhere near the relegation zone heading into the new year though, even Balague will surely have to admit that Lopetegui isn’t quite the manager he thinks he is.
